If you've just arrived here from SHEILA's BLOGthen you are on the correct path.

Here is a standard size card I created using this stamp set featuring the Hopscotch papers. Card design is inspired by Wishes - Just Because Card Workshop, Card 1 (p. 69). Ink colors I used include Flaxen, Glacier, Ponderosa Pine, and Smoothie. As you can see, I curved the "stem and leaves" stamp on my block before stamping it to result in the curved image. Finally, here is a view of all of the stamp imagesincluded in this set that is available now:

Now you can continue on with the hopand be inspired by more creative ideasusing this stamp set by visiting DAWN's BLOG next.Enjoy the hop!!

My Jewel Box

Dedicated to my Grandmother,

Wanda Stuebner, who inspires

me. She wrote this poem when

she was a young mother

(younger than I am now).

Some ladies have fine jewel boxesof ivory and jade;Some have theirs of platinumWith diamonds all inlaid.Within these lovely boxesThey carefully hide from sightTheir costly rings and bracelets;They're locked in the safe at night.

Now I have lovely jewels too,Priceless and very rare.My jewel box is a baby's bed,How sweet to see them there -Two sapphire eyes, two ruby lips,Four tiny gleaming pearls,The sun strikes lovely golden glintsFrom wispy silken curls.
